A luxurious lower level of a Victorian villa on Glasgow’s south side is on the market, giving a glimpse inside its extravagant four walls. ‘The Moss’ on Dalziel Drive next to Maxwell Park was originally built for John Scouller, owner of the iconic Horseshoe Bar on Drury Street. And it is tempting wealthy buyers with offers of over £700,000.
Agents describe the four-bed, two-bath property as “an exceptional lower conversion within a handsome Victorian villa”, which has been listed as Category B for its “architectural significance and Renaissance-style detailing”. Expanding over 3,200 sq ft, the lower level property, completed in 1892, boasts an array of stunning fireplaces, stained glass windows and polished yellow ashlar stonework.
With three living room areas including a library, the home is surrounded by beautiful green spaces including Maxwell Park and Pollok Country Park. A highlight of the home is its intricate and traditional Victorian dining room, which contrasts some of the property’s more modernised areas.
Property agent Peter Walker said: “My favourite aspect of The Moss is the sheer sense of scale on offer – from the grand hallway to the elegant reception rooms, every space feels uplifting and full of light. Set opposite the leafy expanse of Maxwell Park, it combines architectural grandeur with a truly enviable location.”
